Located on the southern part of Georgia's scenic coastline, four barrier islands and the adjoining mainland combine to transport you to the world of serene, natural beauty. Together with fascinating history and recreation of all types, the collection of St. Simon's Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, Little St. Simon's Island and Brunswick, will be one of the most captivating you will ever discover. Beautiful marshlands surround the area. Sandy beaches stretch on for miles.
We left here about an hour before high tide at Jekyll Island, at approximately 10am , where we were planning to spend the night at anchorage. Hoping to see wild horse that roam the Island. Soon after untying the lines and making our way back to the main channel, we received a call on the VHF from Chasseur, our buddy boat. The water temp alarm was going off, and their motor was overheating. The only option was to go back to the dock. We could have carried on, but it's only right that we stick with them. At least I could help with trying to find out what caused the problem.
Back at the dock, after letting the engine cool down, we found the culprit. Faulty impeller, a small wheel that circulates cooling water. After replacing it, we chose to stay till tomorrow. Dealing with tide again.
As not to waste the day, we borrowed the marina bikes and rode to town to have a bite to eat.
One thing about the cruising life, you have to be flexible.
